Industrial Security
Our products with Industrial Security functions support the secure operation of plants, systems
and equipment. Protection against cyber threats requires an all-encompassing Industrial Security
concept. The key to a successful concept is integrated implementation, continuous maintenance
and state-of-the-art technology. This is the responsibility of the plant operator.
The following are key issues for effective industrial security concepts:
Prevention of unauthorised access to plants, systems, equipment and networks
Systems, equipment and components should only be connected to the company intranet or
the internet if and when required
Employ protective measures such as firewalls and network segmentation
Only use the latest software product versions
Carry out software updates as soon as new updates are available
Use standard user accounts for regular operation
Use secure passwords
Appropriate safeguarding of administrator accounts
Application of security guidelines
Other measures to be taken as required
R. STAHL is constantly working on enhancing its products, thereby contributing to plant security
and to minimizing the risk of cyber threats.
